Hosegood family

[kathy mason]

Stuck in a circle trying to trace the Hosegood family. My grandmother was Alice Hosegood born Aug 31, 1896 died Dec 2004. She had a brother Charles HG and Percy and Florence ( who died in infancy). James Hosegood, (Alices father) married Emily Baker and they lived in Godalming, Surrey. James died when Alice was born (1896) and Emily married Alfred Ayling. That is all the firm information I know. When I try to go back I get stuck and I don't feel I have the right tree. I finally ended up deleting all the info from ancestry.ca on this side of the family to try and start over but I am still no farther ahead. Wondering if anyone can help. James Hosegood and Emily Baker marriage certificate lists James as a butcher residence at time of marriage Bell St Regiate, fathers name James Hosegood, occupation farmer. Emily from Somers Road Reigate, father William Baker, tradesman. Married S Marks church, Reigate, Surrey Dec 26, 1885.

It looks as though the family were living in Reigate prior to moving to Chertsey though the age does not tie in with census

Marys age on this census is a better match for the Reigate death

Thanks so much Rosie 99. I was kind of favoring the John and Mary line but then it got kinda confusing with Mary Hill the niece. The family living in Reugate makes sense since that was the address on the marriage certificate. I will go back and try to rebuild it with this line and see where it takes me. Somewhere along the line I had found Tom (1872) Hosegoods daughter living with a James Hosegood and that was when I tried to revalidate and correct some things and it just got to be a big mess. So I deleted everything and started over. But this is pretty much what made sense to me. The dates are a bit wonky but I'll push thru. On both my father ( deceased) and mothers side I have my mother and her brother left....going back in this line there was one guy who had 25 kids by 3 women...how is it I have no family haha. I appreciate the help...still in the learning process. Got help finding my Dad's family. His grandmother was in and out of workhouses in Edmonton and I live in Nova Scotia so I had no idea how that system worked. So sad but so very interesting!!! And I had a lot of success.
